On top of that, details of an alleged inappropriate online relationship with a 14-year-old fan has also been detailed.
Now, Adams has taken to social media to enforce his denial of the accusations. “I am not a perfect man and I have made many mistakes. To anyone I have ever hurt, however unintentionally, I apologize deeply and unreservedly,” he began before adding: “But the picture that this article paints is upsettingly inaccurate.”
“Some of its details are misrepresented; some are exaggerated; some are outright false. I would never have inappropriate interactions with someone I was underage. Period. As someone who has always tried to spread joy through my music and my life, hearing that some people believe I caused them pain saddens me greatly. I am resolved to work to be the best man I can be. And I wish everyone compassion, understanding and healing.”
